Hi, I'm changing our server from a red hat to a suse 9.1. Disregarding the distribution, my problem is with printers. At the moment I'm using lpr to print text files (either plain text or pcl ones) to pcl printers. The problem comes with cups, that is more "graphic" oriented than simple lpr printing. Here's the problem (as example suppos I'm using a HP Laserjet 4 plus): I've configured the printer using yast2, and I'm able to print the test page (both the text one and the graphical one). Nevertheless, if I try to print via lpr a text file: lpr -P hpclaudio file.txt the printer led blinks but the page does not come out, and it seems as the print is deleted by the printer queue without any error message. This happens in particular if I configure the printer using its ppd file (hplj4). If I configure the printer without a local filtering (i.e., no ppd file) I can print text files but they are miswritten since there's no carriage return (i.e., the print is all on one row). Due to our needs, is there a way to print using cups and lpr with the right ppd file OR print manage carriage returns without a specific ppd file?
